Ya if anyone wants to do this just let me know and im more then happy to help out or give some advice. I use to retro-fit projectors and leds into jetta/gti headlights and then sell em.. pretty straight forward but alot of work and craftsmanship and some serious *****.

I wouldn't recommend doing this if you get faint at seeing your car torn apart, are worried about breaking something and not being able to fix it, have no creative skills, and don't have patience. I actually ended up breaking the inside housing (part I painted black) but plastic welded it back together and as you can see its impossible to tell it ever happened.

Bish.........I got 6000k. I got like 4 pairs of 6000k D2R bulbs (Philips bish, the expensive shiznet) and I don't need them now cuz I got's projectors and chit.

Bish, I'll hook you up with HIDs, H4s, LED and all kinds of chit.

My car be done next week........wednesday or some chit perhaps. We meet up, you check out my lights.......if you like the color I paint my old lights the same then on a weekend you pop your light in the oven, we pull them apart, replace the housing and put them back together.

Wut you think?
